You are not just a city.

You are not just a city,
You are more than that,
Much, much more,
For you are the very heart of God.

Let no one say you are just a city,
Let them that do be accursed,
You are more than that,
You are the brightest jewel in His crown.

Jerusalem, eternal and holy,
Not just a city,
The throne room is what you are,
From you He will reign.

Not just a city,
You are the very heart,
A bright shining star,
Yerushilim, this is what you are.

Down at the beach scuba diving,
Tax payers hard at work,
Paying for your skiving.

Living off my sweat,
Receiving everything for free,
I’m working like a slave,
You’re lounging by the sea.
